zoiDman don't forget that quite a number of people complained of a bad glue taste with some of the plastic ones, so that could be luck of the draw also.

Yeah, some of the plastic ones did have that. The ones I got had it. But I was able to fix it by scraping off the glue from the cup and seal and then boiling them.
I can't seem to Completely fix the leaking on these new ceramic ones. Soaking the seals in VG helped. But that made getting the seal back on the cup harder because it is now slightly larger.
Blue Foam has worked the best. I just don't trust these E2 cartos to take them places. If I I'm not at home, I use regular cartos.
Lol I know...I'm screwed. I only had one pack thank God. I've tried 2 seperate XLs, both acting exactly the same. I have 3 left, dunno what to do with them.
Oh, I have some plastic ones too, but I don't like them. I prefer the regular 510 ceramics right now. The rest just suck.

Most of the comments about the new ceramics are very disappointing. I really love my e-2 plastics, and really haven't had any problems with them. I hope they get these worked out, or if not go back to the plastics. There seemed to be less issues with them.
I'm still using one plastic. all day every day. 35 days for those keeping track.

Wow, I was wondering. I had one go 17 days then started leaking. I'm w/ you from what I've seen so far w/ the new ones, much prefer the plastics. I however haven't tried enough to say for sure. Still need to try the regular size ones.
If you stumble across an XL that has higher ohm they work great and last a long time. But the ohm are inconsistent from carto to carto. Put that with they are more difficult to fill that the plastics and they leak.
Unfortunately this is what happens when a manufacture changes things and then doesn't test them very well. Making the slots wider looked good on paper. But if they had tested them they would have seen that it caused a bigger problem then it solved.
That is why this new idea of a cup with holes should be tested by the manufacture BEFORE they release it to buyers.
If they realy wanted to make money, they would start selling the plastic ones with no glue or Mystery fluid on the wick again in different ohm ratings.
Then they can fiddle around with revision what ever as long as they want and we can get back to what we want to do. Use a cartomizer that Works.

Blame Canada.
They started by sending them to us when they changed designs but realized we were wise to the newer versions.
May have been the same for other countries but cant comment on that.
I am betting they sold them all and just dealing with the people that actually contact them about it on a case by case basis.
All the best, Happy Vapping,

i continue to believe that they're onto something with this new carto design... but also continue to wait until design changes have settled down and there is a particular *something* to stock up on... i haven't been keeping up with this mega thread, but this last page sounds like things have not yet settled down?
thanks to banjo i have a few ceramic 401s to try out. so far i've used only one. definitely hard to fill since i can use only ecopure which is 100% vg. and contrary to banjo, i've run into the leakage problem with the short 401.
but i still feel those hassles are worth it compared to a regular carto. have to agree though, rs should do more extensive testing before implementing changes.
All in all I agree too. I've had a bad, very bad run of filler cartos lately; everything from 'nail polish' smell in the end caps, plastic tasting, poor performance, on and on.
When you get a good CE2 there's no comparison. Now if we can get more consistency..
What kind of leakage problem? Does the airflow gurgle and stop up?
Is it while you vape, or after you lay it flat for hours?
Or is it when you filled it up?
i've encountered all three
even though i only fill with 0.6 ml it seems to overflow and gurgle
seepage, but not too bad, while vaping
only laid it flat overnight once, will not do that again
We probably need a brand new thread, because most e2 posts are too confused with earlier revisions. Ideally, everyone who started an E2 thread could have put in the title the R-version number. Bad pointed out that a lot of the problems are non-issues, since they've already taken care of it, and will also apparently use a new ceramic cup too (I think).

I'm sorry to hear that. I can understand your having problems getting 100% VG into the darn things, but it shouldn't be leaking. I've had the one I'm testing here laying on a paper towel on and off for several days and it hasn't leaked yet. No gurgling on the draw either, but I have noticed a tiny amount of juice on the battery connector everytime I unscrewed to refill or switch batteries. Not enough to hurt anything but it's there. Try a second carto out of the pack. If you have a larger syringe needle you might want to try that with your ecopure - or maybe try a thinner juice if you have any.
During a dry burn that black gunk will turn to gray ash, which can usually be knocked off under a thin stream of hot water from the tap. You might have to rinse/repeat a few times to get it all, but eventually you'll be back to an almost white wick. It'll bring the taste back like it was new.

Updated information (05.09.2010) :
We have remove the plastic cup and replaced with ceramic, the coil is loose , so now wicks better, we do not prime or use any chemical products , so these new ones will not have any taste anymore in the begin. The screws connection has been better checked.
It appears that 0.4% still have a small leaking problem below, we try to trace and to fix it, because it is a random problem it's not so easy to fix it, Each day we test and hope we also can fix it, meanwhile we are sure these cartomizers E2 release 3 are very good, you can use it multiple times, the smoke is great and these E2 last longer. with the option to choose the Ohms will give many users a big pleasure to discover our EDITION 2 cartomizers.

When someone figures out what the "Blank Gunk" is and how to stop it from forming, they will Change the World of Vaping Forever.
The "Black Gunk" is what makes a carto (or atty) tatse bad. It is also what causes wicking to the atomizer going to decrease.
